This appears to be a suite wide problem. Yesterday I went from WRITE to CALC to paste my word and add my word incidence count and clicked on the app while CALC was saving. In that case I got no cursor and no recognition of my actions, ie I could type but no words were visible in the cell or the entry bar by the menus. I could paste and nothing showed. The only indication that I was there was that the color changed on the row column labels. Tab moved me to the next col, return to the next row but no content showed. I could left click and drag to select cells but they did not change color (though the col/row labels changed color) finally I gave up and went to shut it down. When I did that I accidentally hit the color bar at the top and dragged the window. With the drag, the window refreshed and all the changes became visible and the program returned to my control without restarting.
total serendipity good luck.
